Comprendre les processus par lesquels les activités humaines influent sur la diversité écologique, à des échelles spatiales et temporelles diverses, est une priorité en biologie de la conservation. La niche écologique constitue à cette fin une interface conceptuelle pertinente. Ma thèse traite de l'influence de la structure et des variations de cette interface, et de leur propension à affecter notre interprétation des conséquences des modifications des paysages, des habitats et du climat sur les communautés biotiques. A partir du modèle de l'avifaune commune, pour lequel de vastes bases de données permettent une quantification de la niche multivariée et multi-échelle, je développe un argumentaire en trois volets. Le premier propose qu'au-delà de la multiplicité des axes de la niche, leurs relations et leurs structures permettent d'inférer des processus qui conduisent à la ségrégation des espèces communes le long de gradients d'habitats. Deuxièmement, croiser la niche climatique et la niche d'habitat révèle des interactions entre des sources de vulnérabilité qui semblent de prime abord opérer à des échelles différentes. Enfin, la largeur de la niche d'habitat est non seulement une cause, mais aussi une conséquence de la réponse des espèces aux variations de leur environnement. J'explore les conséquences de ces trois résultats principaux sur notre compréhension des processus qui sous-tendent la diversité taxonomique et fonctionnelle des communautés. Je propose en conclusion de dépasser la vision classique de la niche comme un ensemble de filtres aux effets spatialement et temporellement hiérarchisés, pour prendre explicitement en compte les interactions entre ces filtres et leurs variations dans l'explication et la prédiction des effets écologiques des changements globaux.

Deciphering the processes by which human activities influence the diversity of ecological systems, at various temporal and spatial scales, is at the foreground of research in conservation biology. The ecological niche appears in that respect as a relevant conceptual interface. My work addresses the implications of the structure and variations of this interface for our interpretation of the consequences of changes in landscapes, habitats and climatic conditions on biotic communities. I examine this issue through the model of European common birds, for which large-scale data bases allow quantifying the niche in a multivariate and multiscale way. My reasoning holds with three main results. First, beyond the multiplicity of niche axes, exploring their relations and structures allow inferences on the processes that drive the segregation of species along environmental gradients. Second, crossing habitat and climatic niches reveal interactions between sources of vulnerability which seem at a first glance to operate at distinct scales. Last, the breadth of the habitat niche is not only a cause, but also a consequence of species' responses to environmental variations. I explore the consequences of these three major results on our understanding of processes…

In this thesis, I provide an analysis of the representation within the environmental movement that is based in critical theory. In considering the paradox which involves the awareness of an ecological crisis as well as a strong resistance to the creation of meaningful policy, I seek to root this problem in the representation of nature. This type of representation is constrained by a virtual account that is based upon constitutive identity and thus is sensitive to contextual perceptions of the discourse and depiction of the concept of nature. My aim is to give a critical analysis of the environmental movement as well as to explore the use of critical theory and contemporary art to enhance the approach of virtual representation in order to challenge traditional notions of natural beauty that can provide misleading accounts of the relationship between humanity and nature.

Dans ses Cahiers, Valéry témoigne d’un transformation du statut de la subjectivité : « L’homme est un animal enfermé à l’extérieur de sa cage. Il s’agite hors de soi. » Annoncée par les romantiques et les symbolistes qui assistèrent à l’éclosion de l’idée poétique à la jonction des matières du corps, de l’univers et du langage, cette nouvelle topologie fut assumée par les poètes qui lui ont succédé. Dès l’aube des années soixante, Jacques Dupin et John Montague ont exploré le sujet du dehors en nouant des rapports inédits entre l’intériorité, le corps, le langage et le monde. Investiguant les paysages sémantiques, le corps de la nature et la physique de la parole, cette thèse en élucide la transitivité en étudiant le rôle joué par l’épreuve charnelle dans la redéfinition de la subjectivité poétique et de la nature, soumis à des processus d’extériorisation et d’intériorisation qui révèlent une conscience incarnée et un dehors sémiotique. Tout en démontrant l’universalité de cette porosité, elle compare des manières singulières d’habiter le monde, appréciées au cœur des enjeux formels de la réévaluation du sensible. Plus généralement, la densification du verbe et l’initiative sémiotique conférée aux qualités sensibles de langages informés par les modalités physiques du discours sont analysées pour dégager les propriétés d’une parole naturelle. Pour rendre compte du poème incarné comme expérience de l’être-au-monde, la phénoménologie est relayée par la poétique, la sémiotique et l’acroamatique qui illustrent un décloisonnement analogue du sujet dans le régime linguistique et révèlent un sujet voué à son énonciation sauvage au même titre qu’à l’altérité des perceptions.

In his Cahiers, Valéry reflects a transformation of the status of subjectivity : "Man is an animal locked outside of his cage. It stirs outside itself." Prefigured by the Romantics and Symbolists which witnessed the birth of poetic ideas at the junction of the materiality of the body, of the universe and of language, this new topology was carried by poets who followed him. Since the late fifties, Jacques Dupin and John Montague have explored this external subjectivity, expressing new relations between interiority, the body, the language and landscapes. Investigating the semantic landscapes, the body of nature and the physics of speech, this thesis elucidates their transitivity, by studying the role played by the fleshly experience in the redefinition of poetic subjectivity and Nature, submitted to process of externalization and internalization that disclose an embodiement of consciousness and a semiotic exteriority. While demonstrating the universality of this porosity, it compares unique ways of inhabiting the world, appreciated at the heart of the aesthetic formal issues inherent to the reevaluation of sensory experience. Generally, the densification of the verb and the semiotic initiative conferred to the sensitive qualities of languages informed by the physical modalities of speech are analyzed to underline the properties of a natural speech. To…

▼ Nature kindergartens are a type of early-childhood education that, relative to other settings, are based outdoors, season-round. They are founded on the belief that direct and immediate experiences with ‘quotidian nature’ (Kahn & Kellert, 2002, xvii) are beneficial in early childhood. More commonplace in Nordic nations and Germany, nature kindergartens are more recently evident worldwide and, hence, timely to research them. By evidencing a descriptive account of ‘nature kindergartens’, this study sought distinctions and commonalities between examples to inform why practice may look the way it does. Existing knowledge presented an opportunity to explore why sharing a label does not infer similar practice arrangements. With its social constructionist lens, this inquiry considered how patterned behaviours and socialised practices (embedded in adults and emergent or developing in children) might guide variations in nature-kindergarten practices. Theoretical tools, namely Bourdieu’s (1977) concept of habitus and Heft’s (1988) version of affordance theory, are used to endorse the position that the use of nature environments for early-childhood education are subject to wider considerations. Using these concepts, nature-kindergartens practices, including that which was seen, heard, smelt, tasted and touched by participants were interpreted for the ways different groups construct season-round relations with nature. The research design and questions were established using preliminary investigations or ‘scoping’ of 15 nature kindergartens in six countries ahead of the selection of three case settings: one Danish case, one Finnish and one Scottish. By ‘looking between’ in preference to comparison, the inquiry extends our understanding of nature kindergarten as sites of social and cultural construction, where educational practices cannot be disjoined from their wider societal, cultural and natural influences. The multicase study (Stake, 2006) framed the collection of data through time-sampled observations, interviews and conversations with adult and child participants. Other peripheral data, including photographs and field journals, were collected. The author shared 53 days with participants at the three case locations and coded the observed practices using thematic analysis (Boyatzis, 1998). Children’s own words, metaphor, poem extracts and colloquial phrases have been used to further contextualise the writing. The study findings describe nature kindergartens as a distinctive form of early-childhood education through evidencing locally relevant relationships with nature. For those under study, spending a preschool year variously shivering and sweating, exhausted and exhilarated, eating berries and eating snow evidenced differences and similarities in season-round relations with nature. This study, by deepening our understanding of nature-kindergarten practice, evidences how socialised practices can play a constitutive, rather than causal, role in practice looking the ways it does. Together, the findings contribute a foundation…

▼ Talk of various crises has filled the air during the beginning stages of the 21st century, to the point that it seems an appropriate time to reassess the modern outlook and the direction of modern civilization. This essay is an attempt at contributing to the philosophical groundwork that could ultimately produce new ways of thinking about how civilized life should be and how to address our problems. One way in which the abstract realm of philosophy intersects with concrete practical issues is in the discourse through which we convince one another to adopt policies, undertake projects, and other such things. `Nature' is a particularly important term within such discourse, primarily because so many of our crises have to do with our relation to the natural environment. It also relates in less obvious ways to the other end of the spectrum of crises, economic problems, especially insofar as these are involved in dilemmas of priority with environmental problems. Moreover, it represents a crucial concept for broader discussions of the aims and evaluation of civilization. Unfortunately, despite this very crucial role, `nature' happens to be a very complicated term with much deep philosophical content and many different senses. These characteristics, along with the ubiquity of its use render it a deceptively easy to understand term. Confusions between its different meanings and casual treatment of the difficult philosophical issues it can imply often render discourse and, indeed, the thinking behind it, vague and ineffectual. By retracing the etymology of `nature', considering philosophical trends concurrent with some of the changes it has undergone, and analyzing some of the philosophically loaded terms and concepts in lexicographers' definitions, this essay will attempt to create a sort of taxonomy of different meanings of `nature' that will help to avoid such confusions and facilitate clearer and more deeply thoughtful discourse regarding our most dire problems.

▼ Recently, the Dutch government and the provinces decided to increase the degree of decentralization in nature policy. To do so policy agreements between the governments were made in the Nature Agreement. This thesis analyses the recent decentralization of nature policy in this agreement according to criteria for successful decentralization to determine the strengths and weaknesses of this decentralization and the opportunities and threats of this decentralization for nature. The focus in this thesis is on the decentralization of national nature policy towards the provinces, the relations with other governments and non-governmental organizations is not addressed in detail. Criteria for successful decentralization used in this study are derived from the analysis of former decentralizations of Dutch nature policy together with more general criteria derived from the literature. These criteria are: policies including decisions of (inter)national importance are unsuitable for decentralization, complex and multi-faceted policy issues in an area specific context are suitable for decentralization, the suitability of the parts of the policy cycle for decentralization, the availability of sufficient resources, political commitment, a clear legal framework, accountability and transparency at the local level and the capability and readiness of the personnel to execute decentralized tasks. Besides, the involved governments must also stick to their agreements in order to make a decentralization successful. This literature study shows that not all administrative nature types of the Netherlands are suitable for decentralization towards the provinces. Nature types more suitable for decentralization are: national landscapes, the development areas and robust connection zones of the EHS, agricultural lands, the green blue veining and green in and around cities. Because these nature types include complex issues in a regional context, which are preferably managed by the provinces as they stand closer to these issues. Other nature types preferably governed by the national government are: core areas of the EHS (national parks and Natura 2000 sites) and protected nature monuments (outside of Natura 2000), because these areas are of internationally important ecological value, and the Dutch government made international commitments regarding these nature types. Some parts of the policy cycle seem more suitable for decentralization compared to others. The implementation stage of nature policy is the most suitable stage for decentralization and is already decentralized to a large extend in the Netherlands. The suitability of the decentralization of the agenda setting and formulation stage of the policy cycle depends on the context of the policy issue and the administrative type of nature in which the issue occurs. The formulation and agenda setting of complex and multi-faceted policy issues woven into a regional context can better be handled at the provincial level, as they stand closer to the issues and the involved stakeholders.… Advisors/Committee Members: Dekker, J.N.M., Verweij, P.A..

▼ Off the coast of Paraparaumu lies one of New Zealand’s most iconic tourist attractions, the Kapiti Island nature reserve. Home to many native plant and wildlife species, this island sanctuary offers a unique nature experience that is under appreciated. The now flourishing nature deserves to be honoured a respected by locals and tourists of the Kapiti region. To date there is no designated building where ticket purchases and bio-security checks can be undertaken for island visitors. No obvious link exists from the local shops to the beach front where the visitors depart. This presents an opportunity for a gateway building to create a slice of the Island’s nature on the mainland. In doing so this would honour and celebrate the sanctuaries nature, installing a level of reverence for the island as visitors pass through. This thesis looks to explore the possible synergies between nature, highway infrastructure and religious architecture types. In order to develop a critical understanding of each architecture type and the possible synergies, explorations involving mass, volume and symmetry were conducted. These specific qualities put the project into a tradition of monumentality. As an understanding of this tradition developed Louis Kahn became an important precedent for me. Just as the late Louis Kahn achieved presence in his buildings, I argue that monumentality could be used in developing a successful synergy between infrastructure and religious architecture types. In the same way monuments and temples typically evoke respect I believe a monumental building on the Paraparaumu beach front will install a reverent homage towards nature as visitors to the island pass through. Throughout this thesis the series of design experiments involving traditional monumental qualities explore the synergies between nature, highway infrastructure and religious architecture types. The exploration utilizes the gateway building as a project to test the possible synergies in context . Operating within a design-led research methodology, varied approaches using multiple mediums explored formal language, spatial experience, composition and proportion of monumentality. The final design, situated on an existing roundabout, is a cylindrical concrete temple connecting the shop and beach front. The form is a subtracted mass obtained through an exploration of subtraction and composition. This temple evokes the desired homage towards nature as its visitors pass through to the island. Although grand in size, I argue, because the temple is situated on a traffic island, the over bearing power of monumentality is played down, respecting its surrounding context. As the design process unfolded a shift occurred in the preferred method for experiments. In the early stages a reliance on a digital experimentation method existed, however a shift towards an analogue experimentation method occurred as an understanding of monumentality and possible synergies between nature, highway infrastructure and religious architecture types were realised. This shift… Advisors/Committee Members: Kebbell, Sam.

▼ This thesis is a response to an emergent discourse on the relationship between the visual arts and the Anthropocene. The latter—the stratigraphic designation for a new geological epoch—has accrued a popularity within the contemporary art-world that is rarely afforded to a concept from the earth sciences. The uptake in Anthropocene-themed exhibitions, publications, and think-pieces reflects the concept’s promise of an art-making and art-critical methodology that may foster a revised relationship to nature in the age of climate change. Despite the new-found fashionability of the term, this relationship between art and the Anthropocene has neither been comprehensively demonstrated, nor disproved. Consequently, the purpose of this thesis is to undertake this necessary interrogation. Firstly, this is an engagement with the competing philosophies and intentions that have attached themselves to the Anthropocene label as it progressed from a straightforward geological statement, into a profound suite of assertions regarding the relationship of humanity to our planet. The influence of the posthumanist ecological philosopher, Timothy Morton, is a particular focus for understanding what the aesthetic theory of the Anthropocene consists of. Taken together, this theory is a promise of a new relationship with the natural world through the jettisoning of Romantic fantasies of nature in favour of an engagement with a sub-discursive, material world. Secondly, this theory is read against ecologically conscious contemporary art works. The practices of Pierre Huyghe, Simon Starling, and Conor Clarke speak to the same concerns as the aesthetic Anthropocene. Reading these works through the lens offered by the stratigraphic concept investigates and tests the capability of the aesthetic Anthropocene for delivering its promises of an art without nature, and a new engagement with our environments. Ultimately, the innovations of the aesthetic Anthropocene are novel, plentiful, but unconvincing. As a theory, it is beset by flaws and contradictions which undermine its applicability and critical potential. Consequently, ecologically conscious art does little to reflect the aims and aspirations of the aesthetic Anthropocene, rendering it an unhelpful tool for understanding the geological present.

▼

Martin Heidegger’s (1889-1976) 1939 interpretation of and commentary on Aristotle’s Physics Book II, Chapter 1, “On the Essence and Concept of Phusis in Aristotle’s Physics B, I,” can be read as a “being-historical” (seinsgeschichtliche) strategy for wresting from Aristotle’s natural philosophy two interrelated theses. First, for Heidegger, Aristotle understood nature (in Greek: phusis) in one respect as the originating source (archē) of the auto-disclosiveness of beings. This source indicates in turn that he understood the being or ousia of beings as a mode of presencing (Anwesen). Heidegger argues that if one privileges that presencing, then kinēsis (movedness / Bewegtheit) emerges as a clue to a second, deeper sense of phusis. Phusis in this second sense is what Heidegger calls the “essence of phusis” (das Wesen der phusis). Heidegger argues that it is this second sense of phusis that first enabled Aristotle to interpret the being of beings in terms of presencing. In this way, Heidegger interprets Physics II.1 so as to facilitate a move from a guiding question (Leitfrage) characterizing Western philosophy as metaphysics to an interrelated Grundfrage as to what enables beings to be taken as modes of presencing. Heidegger’s interpretation of a first part of II.1 investigates the being of beings as ousia / Anwesen. In a second part, he then investigates presencing in order to discern what makes it a possible answer to the being of beings. What makes possible phusis / ousia / Anwesen is again phusis, now registered as Being (Sein) as the self-concealing / revealing (Sein is das sich verbergende Entbergen). Physics II.1, then, exhibits a logic whereby the reader moves from the being of beings to the essence of phusis in terms of an interplay between presence and absence. Heidegger intends that logic of nature to restore a proper access to Being and to recover an ontology of beings he perceived to be lost in the technological paradigm of Western metaphysics. Some recent studies have argued that Heidegger’s 1939 commentary is an important source for detailing these dimensions of his encounter with Aristotle’s philosophy but have either shied away from dealing with the interpretation directly or have not emphasized how novel this late interpretation is with respect to Heidegger’s thought. No extant scholarship details the structure of Heidegger’s commentary and interpretation as we propose.

▼ Few conceptual discoveries rival the impact of the idea of nature on the development of ancient Greek philosophy. The famous φύσις-νόμος debates of the fifth-century B.C. pit nature against custom as the ultimate guide to human life. Plato’s timeless theory of justice is grounded on a conception of nature dictating what is best. Aristotle likewise develops his systematic understanding of the natural world according to the idea that nature is an inner principle of motion and rest that acts as a final cause. In each of these cases, nature is understood as teleological, i.e. oriented toward an end. But the idea of nature as a way to explain the existence of the cosmos and the identity, growth, and behavior of the entities within it emerges in Greek philosophers that precede Plato, the so-called Presocratics. How did the earliest philosophers conceive of the idea of the nature of things? And to what extent, if any, do the earliest conceptions of nature display purposive features? This dissertation tells the story of the origins and development of the idea of purposive nature in early Greek philosophy. Over the course of six chapters, I develop accounts of substantially different conceptualizations of nature found in ten of the earliest Greek philosophers. Contrary to long-standing scholarly opinion, I argue that no single “Greek concept of nature” in fact exists among the Presocratics, but rather that the idea of nature emerges more dynamically, evolving through critical debate as different thinkers put forth competing theories about what nature is and what it implies. In each theory, however, the unique facets of these different conceptions of nature are marked by elements of purposiveness. Far from being anti-teleological, then, the Presocratic polysemous concept of nature serves as a vital first step in the development of early forms of purposiveness in nature into the more robust teleological conceptions found in Plato and Aristotle. As my account demonstrates, the idea of nature becomes more explicitly purposive over the course of the Presocratic period. Finally, this reading of the early Greek period paints a picture of the way the Presocratic engagement with nature leads to the various “corrupted” views of nature in the φύσις-νόμος debate among the Greek sophists, and ultimately to the suggestion that the Platonic and Aristotelian defense of the value of philosophy is grounded in a defense and development of the idea of purposive nature. Advisors/Committee Members: Ronald Polansky, Timothy S Quinn, Michael Harrington.
